Horizon Zero Dawn
What makes Horizon Zero Dawn such a good post-apocalyptic game is just how different it is from anything else out there. Instead of the dark and destroyed worlds we usually see, Horizon shows us a flourishing world that’s recovered from the apocalypse and found a way forward.
The inhabitants of Horizon have reverted to a tribal-like civilization, although they still make use of certain kinds of technology. Of course, the main threat of this world are the giant mechanized animals and dinosaurs that roam the world.
Horizon’s fantastic gameplay makes these encounters as nail-biting as they are majestic, and the general aesthetic design of the game is super unique.
There’s much more lore and story that goes into Horizon’s post-apocalyptic world, but it’s better to find that all out for yourself. Honestly, it’d be nice to get more games like Horizon that don’t show life after the apocalypse as anything but dark and depressing.
